Gino's voice has a depth, a richness and a strength that Jason's doesn't have. Jason didn't even get the high notes right in People Gotta Move. Also, Jason tries to reproduce Gino's cadences, etc. Perhaps with time Jason's voice will improve. The other thing to consider is that the musical arrangements here weren't the best.
LOL - I remember this - I was living and working in Joliette, Quebec and Jason Battah - the contestant - worked as a dentist in Joliette at this time - haha - he sang with Gino - yay - my fave!
Dear god what is this awful show???? No person should be forced to sing with their idol - doing their idol's songs at the same time!!! Gino looks to have been very accommodating but POOR JASON. I'm sure he sounds great on his own, doing his own tunes. This is the most humiliating show I have ever seen! (OK, with the exception of American Idol)!!!!!
This is clearly not Gino's band as it sounds like these guys just learned the song from a chart , and Gino is ALL about production quality . But Gino is always perfect...ALWAYS . This guy never gets old and his voice sounds as fresh as it did in the 70's . Being the perfectionist that he is , I'm sure he's not happy that this video exists . The band should have paid more attention to detail when researching him...especially in the keyboard patches . Very cheesy and karaoke !
More charm than the law should allow, great talent, and the warmest smile on the planet!
Keep on grooving, Gino - wild horses couldn't pull your fans away from listening to you and cheering you forever, we just wanna stop and let you know how great you are -
Oh wow, this is the best! Gino is always, always exciting to watch and hear. He obviously loves teaching, loves every syllable and every note. This young guy is very good, and Gino seems to enjoy singing with him. Gino always puts his heart into every note! Love it! Gee, he never seems to age at all - great video, thanks so much!!!!
Hey is this arrangement of Wild Horses available anywhere? It is terrific and so jazzy. Amazing how a rock ballad can be translated so effortlessly by Vannelli into great jazz. Is this recording with Jason available on CD? Thanks for answering -
Thanks so much for posting this great video! Vannelli is always great, he adds neat things and variations everytime I hear his standards. Shows how his music stands the test of time. Great arrangements, especially of Wild Horses! Like the sparkle in Vannelli's eyes when he is encouraging Jason, who does a very good job, too. Vannelli should release a CD of all his duets. A DVD would be much appreciated too! Thanks again - wonderful vid!! 5 stars!
Terrific arrangements and nice duet. Generous Gino does a great job working with a new young talent, am sure he is a great teacher. What a wonderful chance for the young guy to sing with one of the greatest ever. Shows how timeless Gino's compositions and musical style are - always fresh, entertaining, and wonderful!
I absolutely love Gino. I've been his #1 fan from the beginning. Someone posted an acousic version of Crazy Life but then it was removed. Please, please, put it back on. It was wonderful. Love you Gino!
Gino proves time and time again who the real singer is. Can the Diamond's and Bubles take a lesson please, Gino should finally reap the rewards of his astounding talent and body of work that others can only dream of accomplishing.
First time in months visiting this site. Looking for a particular Gino video at the Northsea Jazz Festival. I'm a huge Gino fan. Before there was American Idol, there was and is Rock Acadamie. Great job, Jason for singing with the Master of Music. Let's respect the fact that Gino has the right to keep his personal life, private. Don't assume. Assumptions are dangerous. A true Gino fan would know that Jason is not his son. Gino's family and friends are often at his concerts. Love this video!

This I Star Academie, its a talent show in Quebec Canada.. Its french also.. Gino was invited and Jason, a contestant, had the privelege to sing a duet with him
As usual, Gino is wonderful to watch and listen to! Is Jason a relative of Gino's? He resembles Gino somewhat. He sounds good also, but, as we all know, Gino is the master. Gino looks so sweet and encouraging to Jason as he sings with him. Gino seems like such a nice person.
Jason, Jason... Do you know how lucky you are? I wish I could just shake Gino's hand! (I'm a professional musician since 1980) He has sung in a duet with you Jason!! Treasure this vid for life!
kathlammpankow-If you really want to meet Gino check him out in Vegas in July at the Flamingo. He does a meet and greet afterwards and the show is incredible!
It was nice to see Gino doing a couple of songs with Jason of course Gino is a better singer,However I just cant enough of him.He is a very talented singer,I fell in love with him and is music since I first heard It hurts to be in love around 1989 he is awesome I am happy that they now have video you can watch.Gino is very talented he doesnt get the credit he deserve,and he stills looks awesome you are bless.
Guys,Gino Vannelli is an incredible singer and musician!!He play alot of instruments!I am a singer and musician and i feel he's music from the heart cause he have it big!!Every time i sing i think about him,cause i listen this amazing man from when i was very young!The first time i was 3 years hold and was unforgetable... Gino you are amazing!
I don't know who these sorry people are who would write a negative comment about the legend Gino. If anyone who looks desperate it's that dude Jason. You could never even begin to step to Gino. Gino is in a class all by himself. Luv ya Gino!!!
Yeah! You are absolutly right! It's a shame a lot of people doesn't understand it! Moreover he is a star for musician... only musician undestand how rich and complex is his music!
Yeah, Gino vannelli is the best. Is the legend, the master of music!! the personality, the voice and the power...better than Jason, better than everybody!!
well, this jason sucks rotten egs, but that's ok...as to gino, well, he'd better team up with a better singer next time and stop looking desperately for an exposition...or is he afraid of a fair competition? that'd be great hearing from you, gino...you strike ma as a negative human being...
I agree Gino's voice is much much better, but it's still really cool that Gino gave the kid the chance to sing with him.

Egree, the band sounds like a traditional big band with all heads looking down the charts.
But, Gino... Gino is allways the one - voice - producer of his own label.

I love, love, LOVE Gino Vanelli and his music...I just swoon when I hear his beautiful voice.
Jason Battah is a star on the rise....oh my God! I'm just breathless taking in the two of them!
I have listened to this video 6 times already, and I can't get enough of it.
Jason is probably going to be the next 'new Sinatra......To see these guys live perform would be the ultimate concert.

Apologies for:
1. The duplicate comment
2. Gino often teaches at Europe's Rock Acadamie. In this video Gino and Jason appeared on Star Acadamie (American spelling Academy).
